The repellent Santanche refused again to resign yesterday, berating the MPs who called for her to step down as jealous, and hating her because she is rich and has 12 cm heels. Her disassociation is reaching new heights – she is being called on to step down because she is going to trial on charges of false accounting, false bankruptcy and aggravated fraud – (mainly for avoiding VAT, asset stripping and falsely claims with employment stats) – and while innocent till proven guilty, the proof of guilt is pretty damning with an endless list of shafted employees, dates and times to prove her ‘mistruths’, and rather a large debt with the public finance for unpaid tax.
Meloni didn’t bother going to parliament, as she cant be seen to defend the indefensible. She however, continues to defend Nordio and Piantedosi – the ministers of justice – who let an international criminal and torturer (Almasri) leave the country. To add insult to injury Israeli spyware has been used on a journalist, the head of an NGO and now we learn, a priest – all of whom aren’t in the government’s good books. It’s not us says the government, but the Paragon spyware is under licence (revoked last week) to the government. Of course it’s possible that Mossad is acting under its own steam, the list of international incidents that can be laid at the door of Mossad grows daily, and if it were ever proved that they were responsible for the death of Diana it would surely create severe problems. You can’t put anything beyond Netanyahu
Meanwhile Salvini continues to try and emulate other populist leaders, but fails dismally as he possesses even less intelligence than those he seeks to copy.
